The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...

Among semiconductors, the muting transistor and its audio application is perhaps the most obscure and poorly understood of all. There is extremely little information on this subject available on the ...

Figure 1a shows a latching circuit based on an optocoupler, IC 1. If the off switch remains closed, pressing the on switch powers the LED in the optocoupler. Thus, the transistor in IC 1 turns on. You ...

With a recent breakthrough in making circuits with molecules, Hewlett-Packard hopes to change chip history and expand its own role in the process. Researchers from the Palo Alto, Calif.-based ...

Hewlett-Packard’s researchers have proven that a technology the company invented could eventually replace the transistor, a fundamental building block of electronics. In a paper published in the ...

Company says it has a substitute for the transistor that's far smaller and, potentially, far cheaper to produce. Image: Molecular montage Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he ...

Announced yesterday, researchers from Surrey and Cambridge universities and the National Research Institute in Rome have used thin-film source-gated transistor (SGT) to create compact analogue circuit ...
